Billy Ocean - The Colour of Love lyrics

If I had to paint a picture
To show the world how true love can really be
I would use the brightest colours
To create a vision of harmony

It would be a reality
'Cause it's only what's inside of my heart
You would see I've always loved you
Right from the very start

Tell me, what is the colour of love?
What do you see? Is it warm, is it tender
When you think of me?
I'll see the colour of love
When I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting
Of love forever true

The colours of the rainbow
Turn gray whenever you're so far away
It changes like the seasons
You're the reason it happens that way

What you see are colours of emotion
Reflecting what I feel deep inside
(Deep inside) now I'd like to take a look
At emotions that you hide

Tell me, what is the colour of love?
What do you see? Is it warm, is it tender
When you think of me?
I'll see the colour of love
When I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting
Of love forever true

And, oh, though many may try to keep us apart
Oh, the colours that I see in you
Will shine a light to see us through
No matter what the world will do
I'll always love you

Oh, what is the colour of love?
What do you see? Is it warm, is it tender
When you think of me?
I'll see the colour of love
When I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting
Of love forever true

What is the colour of love
Oh, tell me, tell me
Oh, I wanna know, I wanna know
(I see the colour of love)
When I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting
Of love forever true
(What is the colour of love)
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna know
(I see the colour of love)
